An interactive lesson.

An immersive performance experience.

All rooted in history.

A collaborative workshop, leading to greater empathy.

Designed to evoke a sense of reckoning, The Black American Tree Project is an interactive workshop that educates us about the legacies of slavery in modern American society, its after-effects on Black Americans, and the deep rooted systems that pervade today.
